T/ie  publishers  invite  especial  attention  to  the  above 
companion  volumes,  tiniform  in  size,  binding,  and  price,  the 
tzco  together  forming  a  valuable,  concise,  and  complete  His- 
tory of  the  JVorld  from  the  earliest  times  to  the  present. 

Thalheimer  s  Histories  are  published  in  durable  and 
attractive  style,  and  are  adapted  to  the  use  of  the  general 
READER,  as  well  as  Schools  and  Colleges. 

The  Christian  Union  says  of  the  Ancient  History: 

"  \Vliether  viewed  with  reference  to  its  substance  or  its  form — 
the  selection  and  arrangement  of  its  matter,  the  style  of  its  composition, 
or  the  mechanical  dress  in  which  all  are  presented  to  the  public — it 
is  a  genuine  book.  It  may  be  fearlessly  accepted  at  its  own  valuation, 
and  m;;re." 

The  Nation  says : 

"  Thalheimer's  Manual  of  Ancient  Histoiy  will  be  found  the 
most  serviceal)fe  work  wkhin  th"  fffa'^h  of  niir  '^rhnnk  It  has,  indeed, 
no  rival  worth  ryi{t><ini^*g."i . ;  ;  -,  p^     ^  ,  J  ,\  AR  Y 

The  Boston  Traveler  says  : 

''  Take  itiiyltojether,  it  must  be  prouoynced  as  sd  far  surpassing 
all  books  partilirr^TnVendtd  to  answer  the  same  end,  :  hat  comparison 
is  impossible."

INTRODUCTION. 


'nr^HE  maps  comprised  in  this  Atlas  were  first  pub- 
•^  lished  in  Thalheimer's  Manuals  of  History. 
While  still  serving  their  original  purpose  in  connec- 
tion with  those  books,  we  have  been  led  to  believe 
that  they  may  be  useful  in  the  form  of  a  hand-atlas 
for  reference. 

The  necessity  of  full,  clear,  and  accurate  maps  in  all 
historical  publications  has  long  been  fully  recognized 
by  the  reading  public ;  yet  most  of  the  histories  in 
our  libraries  are  utterly  deficient  in  this  particular. 

In  Germany  this  deficiency  has  been  remedied  by 
the  publication  of  Spruner's  gigantic  Historical  Atlas, 
and  of  numerous  other  smaller  atlases  of  thc^  same 
character  but  less  expensive. 

For  the    English    reader,  no   atlas  rivaling  Spruner's 

has    ever    been   published,   and    our    smaller    historical

IV  INTRODUCTION. 

atlases   have   been   at    the   same   time   costly   and     in- 
adequate. 

While  it  is  not  claimed  that  this  Atlas  will  supply 
the  want  of  a  full  historical  atlas  on  the  grand  scale 
of  Spruner's,  the  reception  given  to  the  maps  in  their 
original  form  has  persuaded  us  that  they  may  have  a 
more  extended  usefulness  in  their  present  form.
